This is very similar to another recipe I use. I saute the beets in a little olive oil stirring while cooking but only for a little over 4 minutes. I've used lime juice and then a little butter for flavor added at the end. It just makes for a bit fewer calories, and less saturated fat. Either way this recipe is a winner and definitely quick and easy. I eat a lot more beets than I used to when they were boiled and then slipped. I've also used a little water and butter to reduce fat ( in a non-stick Pan of course) when cooking the grated beets.
